If you're taking votes, I'd like to see this, it'd be nice to have one
centralized file for a dns config.  It would be nice to keep SRV/TXT
records right next to their matching A record, bind style.  Having PTRs in
the same file would put you one step above bind :)

Maybe take it one step further,
--host-record=<address>,<name>[,<alias>,<alias>,...] so we can keep the
CNAMEs right there too.
